The primary aim of this text is to build children's self-confidence in their own academic ability and allow them to feel comfortable with learning instead of struggling to learn. From a young age we begin to teach our children the alphabet, along with the numbers one to ten. While we may not realise it at the time, we have begun teaching two of the most important and core subjects of a child's school life English and maths. However, if our children do not have a good grasp on these subjects, their confidence and often their enjoyment of school can suffer. It goes without saying that a confident student will do better than a non-confident one, and those students who tend to develop a loathing for a subject are generally those who haven't mastered the basics. The "Pocket Basics" aim to assist parents in helping their children get the best academic start in life by teaching them the essentials in both English and Maths. The information in the book is designed to cater to the child's own ability to learn.
